Our guests book a return trip before they leave
Whether you are looking for weekend camping in Somerset, a family camping holiday in the South West, or to experience the joys of a self catering luxury log cabin, Alpine Grove is ideal for you and your family. Nestled into South Somerset, we offer excellent campsite facilities near the Devon and Dorset borders. Our unique rural camping and caravanning site and log cabin retreat is both family and pet friendly!
Regularly used for weekend and midweek breaks as well as weekly or fortnightly holidays, you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and escape the trappings of modern life. Our quiet, level oak woodland site is set in 8.5 acres of parkland with pitches naturally screened by rhododendrons amongst the mature oaks, beeches and birches surrounded by abundant wildlife, flora and fauna.
We have a perfect family friendly atmosphere here at Alpine Grove. Children are occupied with our safe play area including table tennis table or our outdoor heated swimming pool and the woods are great for den building. For family time, there is an abundance of safe cycle and walking tracks within the park to explore and play safely. Further afield, we recommend exploring the Chard to Ilminster cycle path on the old railway line, part of the WWII Taunton Stop Line.
We’ve been many times, the attraction of a cabin in the forest with a hot tub is idealic. Keith and Serena are very good host, nothings too much trouble.... read more Only 2 miles from chard make essentials or takeaways easily accessed. They have a few items in the shop on site.
Cabins are warm, fully equipped, downside is if you’re used to a full sized T V be prepared for a much smaller one.
We stayed in the woodpecker but have stayed in the hedgehog and in both we would like to have had a hand rail for getting in and out of bath shower, I took my own anti slip mat to help.
If you,like a very hard bed then this is for you too, it’s far too uncomfortable for me and my husband so we take additional toppers for the mattress.
Generally this doesn’t deter us from coming back twice a year, it’s far too heavenly to not overcome our personal comforts.
With the main oak beamed base now in place, work continued through July and August fitting floor joists and preparing the beams to house the…
Just back from a lovely week! Site clean and beautiful surroundings! Staff were working no-stop to keep facilities clean and covid secure! Very friendly! My only niggle would be the... read more very noisy neighbours especially on our last night who decided to have a disco outside ! Didn't want to complain as I do understand everyone has been locked away for a long time but between that and the road, which was surprisingly noisy I would drop a "star" but would definitely like to return perhaps to a quite area of the site, although with a massive tent like ours may be difficult! On the whole though lovely site, pool and visiting food vans! Thank you!

We’re so glad we found this site!!!
Just what we were looking for - a small, family run site with generous individual pitches - all within easy striking distance of the... read more coast, Bath and so many other wonderful places in the West Country.
Our stay was during a heatwave but the shade of the trees kept our tent cool and the swimming pool was an absolute God send. We also enjoyed the artisan pizza on a Friday night, Saturday morning yoga in the woods and pancakes on the Saturday evening.
We loved the fact the owners are very eco-conscious plus their diligence with regards to Covid was reassuringly second to none.
A wonderful place for to enjoy nature as you’re within the countryside and can hear the local wildlife and farming all around you, even into the night.
We’re going to head down to Cornwall next year, but will make sure we stop en-route at Alpine Grove.
We’ve just had a lovely weekend at Alpine Grove. We had a lovely wooded pitch with plenty of space, the woodland play park was lovely for the children but our... read more favourite part was the heated outdoor pool!
We were able to book three slots for just our family to swim over the weekend and it is a lovely clean and good sized pool which our 8 year old loved!
We enjoyed a long walk from the site into the countryside and saw lots of farm animals and gorgeous views along the way.
The site was very well laid out, clean and very quiet and relaxed, we will definitely be visiting again!

On several occasions during our stay I said this is one of the best sites we have stayed. Obviously helps the weather was beautiful but the site was fantastic! Beautiful... read more woodland surroundings, fire pits to hire which I love during a camping trip and perfect for kids to wander around with parents feeling they are safe. The pool set up where one family used at a time due to covid was perfect and I genuinely think this is one pandemic arrangement that works so well it could remain. The owners were so relaxed and friendly and the pancake pod and pizza night really topped off a fantastic first camping trip of the year! Thanks again Alpine Grove, we will most definitely be back 🏕
